Quick & Easy Pork Belly Hor Fun
Description
To prepare this Hor Fun dish, dried wide rice noodles are softened in warm water until pliable but retaining firmness. A sauce combining soy sauce, dark soy, oyster sauce, sugar, Shaoxing wine, and sesame oil provides a layered savory and slightly sweet flavor base. Pork belly slices are cooked first until mostly done, then combined with white onion, green onions, and yu choy to provide sweetness and crunch.
The noodles and reserved soaking water are added along with the sauce, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors and soften further while maintaining a springy texture. The stir-fry technique ensures the pork stays tender and vegetables crisp while all ingredients meld in the sauce. The final sesame oil finish adds a nutty aroma.
This dish serves well as a standalone meal showcasing savory pork belly contrasted by fresh greens and hearty noodles offering a chewy, comforting bite. Adjusting noodle water controls noodle softness.
Ingredients
- 14.1 oz rice noodle dried, wide flat
- ½ lb pork belly sliced
- 2 green onion sliced into 1 inch long pieces
- ½ small onion sliced thinly
- 2 cups yu choy chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 2 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Noodle Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce regular
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce or vegetarian stir fry sauce
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar white
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or Dry Sherry
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Soak your dried rice noodles in warm water for 10-15 minutes until limp but firm. Strain noodles and reserve ¾ cup of this water for later.
- In a small bowl, combine noodle sauce ingredients as listed. Set aside.
- In a large skillet on medium high heat, add vegetable oil and pork belly. Fry pork belly until 75% cooked.
- Toss in white onion, green onions, and yu choy. Fry until veggies have softened, about 1 minute.
- Push everything to the side, add noodles into the pan. Then add about ½ cup of noodle water to start. Add Noodle sauce. Mix well until noodles are covered in sauce.
- Cook for another 5 minutes until noodles are soft and chewy. If you need to add more reserved noodle water to make the noodles softer, you may do so at this point. The noodles should be soft but have a springy texture.
- Season with sesame oil and enjoy!
